Heritage Walks

The streets, buildings, landmarks and open spaces of our borough have so many amazing stories to tell.

Artist Jeni McConnell has created two new walks to share her discoveries whilst she was out and about exploring in the borough. Peppered with snippets of research and the odd mystery or two, they reveal the rich history of the area. Both walks are circular, one is centred on the area around Runcorn Town Hall, the other begins in Appleton Village and explores Victoria Park in Widnes.

The ‘Meandering and Mysteries’ walks are available as two separate leaflets. You can pick up printed copies at local libraries across Halton, view them online, or download and print them yourself by clicking on the links below.

We hope you enjoy the walks – you will find links from them to objects, photos and oral histories on this website so please come back to find out more.
